Bees have three types of colour receptor in their eyes, and their color sensitivities peak in the yellow-green, blue, and ultra-violet regions of the spectrum. This means that bees can see ultra-violet (which we can't), and the yellow-green receptors peak further up the spectrum that our own red-orange receptors.

However, the receptors also pick up colours either side of their peak sensitivity, so it is likely that a strong enough red light will be detected, but will not be seen as well as we can see it.

A bee's color vision ranges from ultra violet (which we can't see) to yellow/orange. To a bee, red will appear the same as black, but they will be able to see any ultra violet reflected from what is to us a red (or black) surface.

No. A bee's colour vision extends from orange-yellow to ultra-violet. They can't see red, but they can see ultra-violet, which we can't.

Bees have good color vision, but it isn't the same as ours. We see colors ranging from red to blue violet, but can't see infra red or ultra violet. Bees' color vision ranges from orange yellow to ultra violet, so they can't see red. An object which to us appears red may appear black to a bee, but that would depend on whether that object reflects ultra violet light.

Bees see patterns in flower petals that are invisible to us because they are ultra violet. These patters often lead to the nectaries.

How do mosquito see at night?

Mosquitoes use specialized light-sensitive cells in their eyes called ommatidia to see at night. These cells detect even small amounts of light, allowing mosquitoes to navigate and find blood meals in dark conditions. Additionally, they are attracted to carbon dioxide and body heat, which helps them locate potential hosts in the dark.

The red apple appears red because it absorbs all colors in the light spectrum except for red, which is reflected back to our eyes. This reflected red light is what our eyes perceive as the color red.


What is happening when you see the color red?

When you see the color red, you are seeing red light reflect off of a surface. This means that any other color light that hits that object is absorbed into the surface. The exception to this is when you see red light, in that case you are seeing light that does not contain any other color of light.
